Green plants perform photosynthesis.
A candidate studied the importance of certain factors in photosynthesis. He took a potted plant and kept in the dark for over 24 hours. In the early hours of the next morning, he covered one of the leaves with black paper in the centre only. Then he placed the plant in sunlight for a few hours and tested the leaf which was covered with black paper for starch.
Why was the plant kept in the dark before the experiment?
Photosynthesis in green plants is directly and indirectly dependent on so many plant structures.
Explain briefly the role of the following structures in this process is Phloem tissue in the leaf veins.
What are the basic requirements of photosynthesis?
Oxygen given out during photosynthesis comes from water. Explain this statement.
How is the rate of photosynthesis affected when a green plant gets the green light?
